Re: Location of Blooming Grove Cemetery, Lamar Co.

There are actually two Blooming Grove Cemeteries, very close to each other.To reach either cemetery from Vernon, take Hwy. 18 east about 6 miles to Co. Rd. 49, and head north on 49 about 4 miles to its intersection with Co. Rds. 9 and 57.

From that intersection, Blooming Grove Missionary Baptist Church and its cemetery are less than ½ mile north on 49, on the left.Old Blooming Grove Cemetery is on Co. Rd. 57,also less than ½ north of the same intersection, also on the left side of the road.
